Hand and Derived Activities

A Hand can bind to a Fiber, and derived class can do more things. More...

Classes
class	Hand
	Simulates the stochastic binding/unbinding of a FiberBinder. More...
class	Actor
	A Hand that can act on a Fiber. More...
class	Cutter
	A Hand that can cut a Fiber. More...
class	Mighty
	A Hand that can move and do other things to a Fiber. More...
class	Motor
	a Hand that can move smoothly on a Fiber More...
class	Nucleator
	A Hand that can nucleate a Fiber. More...
class	Rescuer
	A Hand that may rescue a shrinking fiber. More...
class	Slider
	A Hand that will move on a Fiber passively with viscous resistance. More...
class	Tracker
	A Hand that only binds near the end of a Fiber. More...

Detailed Description

A plain Hand can only bind and unbind from a Fiber. Derived classes are available that implement more complex functionalities, for example molecular motors or severing enzymes.

List of classes accessible by specifying hand:activity:

activity	Class	Parameters
bind	Hand	Parameters of Hand (default)
move	Motor	Parameters of Motor
nucleate	Nucleator	Parameters of Nucleator
slide	Slider	Parameters of Slider
track	Tracker	Parameters of Tracker
rescue	Rescuer	Parameters of Rescuer
cut	Cutter	Parameters of Cutter
mighty	Mighty	Parameters of Mighty
act	Actor	Parameters of Actor

Example:

set hand motor
{
  binding = 10, 0.05
  unbinding = 0.2, 3

  activity = move
  max_speed = 1
  stall_force = 5
}
